This salad was just okay. The tortellini was a bit mushy and the dressing was too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with a more savory dressing.

This salad was easy to make and very tasty. I used a rotisserie chicken instead of the bacon, and it turned out great. I also added some chopped walnuts for a little extra crunch. Will definitely make this again!
